[Jesus sits on a rock, speaking]
A new command I give you:
Love one another

[an angry character talks back to Jesus]
What if they’re something bad like gay, trans, brown, or communist though?

[Jesus is facepalming on his rock]
I don’t want to be a messiah anymore

    Christianity has been the cause for wars.
    Even “moderate” Christians are deluded, and can get the idea from their priest that they need “therapy” for their LGBT child.
    And can argue that morality comes from god, which is insane since god doesn’t exist.
    Being deluded makes Christians irrational, and prone to aggression when they feel their convictions are not accepted.
    The problem with that is that obviously all the superstitious parts and the bigotry of Christianity does not deserve acceptance and much less respect.

    So when Christianity meets evidence based reason, Christians are absolutely prone to be aggressive.
    We have seen this through hundreds of years, where scientists were punished by Christians for proving actual facts, or even just suggesting them. Again obviously a scientific theory does not deserve punishment whether right or wrong.

    The same is true today, where the basis for the major opposition to abortion in western democracies is Christianity.
    Even sometimes demanding the banning of abortion in situations where continuing the pregnancy will mean the death of both the mother and the fetus! Only religious beliefs can make people so irrational and evil for no benefit to themselves.
    AND these people even believe they are doing the right thing, because they are deluded. Being deluded is inherently dangerous, not only to the person who is deluded, but also to people around them, and society as a whole.

    manipulating scripture

    Which is easy both because the people believing it are delusional and easily fooled, and because scripture is so full of self contradictions, that you can pick a side.
    But lets just remember that scripture not only allow slavery, it actually condones it.
    And the recommended action if a women is suspected to have been unfaithful to her husband, is to poison her to prove her guilt or innocence, if she dies it is considered proof that she was unfaithful.

    The bible is not medieval, because that would be way more modern, it is not barbarian, because it would be way more civilized.
    The bible is a bronze age superstitious attempt to explain reality, and with zero understanding the only explanation they could come up with was of course superstitious, and in this case based on an “almighty” god. And in the exact same manner they tried to make rules and define morality, but with very little understanding of anything, except of course the understanding common in the bronze age.

    This is the guide Christians choose to follow, and don’t try to gas light me into thinking that doesn’t have negative consequences.

      Rarely. Usually it’s politics. But yeah, a war happening around the biggest ideology in the world is probably a natural outcome.

      And can argue that morality comes from god, which is insane since god doesn’t exist.

      Basically just the reddit argument “theists are insane, therefore I’m right”. This isn’t an argument against Christianity

      scientists were punished by Christians for proving actual facts, or even just suggesting them. Again obviously a scientific theory does not deserve punishment whether right or wrong.

      Extremely rare, Christians basically invented the scientific method. Modern science exists because there was a belief in a lawgiver, so those laws can be studied.

      The same is true today, where the basis for the major opposition to abortion in western democracies is Christianity.

      That’s because many people believe that foetus are valuable human lives. It’s not exclusive to Christians, although Christians by default would think that because they actually have a moral understanding. And due to demographics, then yeah, they’d be the most noticeable force.

      Even sometimes demanding the banning of abortion in situations where continuing the pregnancy will mean the death of both the mother and the fetus! Only religious beliefs can make people so irrational and evil for no benefit to themselves.

      Thanks for at least saying “sometimes”. I’ve never heard this to be the case. Worth mentioning that this scenario itself is also extremely rare, to the point of single digits on national levels per year.

      AND these people even believe they are doing the right thing, because they are deluded. Being deluded is inherently dangerous, not only to the person who is deluded, but also to people around them, and society as a whole. Which is easy both because the people believing it are delusional and easily fooled, and because scripture is so full of self contradictions, that you can pick a side.

      This isn’t even an argument against Christianity. It’s not rational or reasonable at all.

      But lets just remember that scripture not only allow slavery, it actually condones it.
      And the recommended action if a women is suspected to have been unfaithful to her husband, is to poison her to prove her guilt or innocence, if she dies it is considered proof that she was unfaithful.

      Nice bit of equipment there. How much did that cost you?

      The bible is not medieval, because that would be way more modern, it is not barbarian, because it would be way more civilized.

      Basically all of our morals in the west is based off of it. So not really.

      The bible is a bronze age superstitious attempt to explain reality, and with zero understanding the only explanation they could come up with was of course superstitious, and in this case based on an “almighty” god. And in the exact same manner they tried to make rules and define morality, but with very little understanding of anything, except of course the understanding common in the bronze age.

      Again, this isn’t really an argument. Something being old doesn’t mean it loses credibility. It’s like saying Julius Caesar didn’t exist because the evidence for him is from the Iron age…

      Worth mentioning Jesus was from the Iron age, not the bronze age.

      This is the guide Christians choose to follow, and don’t try to gas light me into thinking that doesn’t have negative consequences.

      It would if we read the Bible the same way you seem to read it… With this

        You are either extremely uninformed or dishonest.

        This has positively been the case in USA, Ireland, Poland, that I know of for sure.
        I’m blocking you for your annoying graphics that don’t do anything. And for being either dishonest or insanely stupid.
